6.5 Component Suggestions - 150W RMS - Prefer $200 Or Less

[vexter0944 10+ year member]

I'm looking for a new set of 6.5 components and have been out of the scene for a while. I had a set of PG Xenon 6.5's but the woofer died. I'm using a JL Audio 450/4 as the amp. These will get 150W RMS while the CDT Audio CL 6EX's in my rear doors are getting the other 75W RMS from the JL Audio 450.4

Any ideas would appreciated - thanks in advance - I'll be watching the thread for replies or if you have something for sale and are local to the STL area let me know - we can talk.

I haven't heard these but a few people on here bought them when they were on sale and rave about them. They describe them as having good midbass, a smooth midrange and a nice detailed but not harsh tweeter. They're still available for a good price and anything bought through amazon comes with a factory warranty.

Thanks for the input - but those look like they're rated at 90W RMS - I need 150W RMS to match the JL Audio 450/4 amp I'm using. I was on board until I saw that RMS rating. Thanks though, appreciate the input.

Keep em coming guys - and thanks!

david temple posted something up about having the new massive rk6s and ck6s. i think he said 229 for the rk6s and they are rated at 250

Thanks for the tip on the rk6s - I've emailed him to see what he has to say. Please keep the suggestions coming - thanks so much!

I wouldn't worry about to much power... if you know what your doing with your gains you will be fine. What kind of tweeter do you like?

 

[vexter0944 10+ year member]

I like a bright, but not harsh tweeter.

After talking to Dave Temple, it looks like the CX6's might be a great choice for me.

I have 125 w rms feeding my morels that are rated at 90 and I can tell you that they can handle more. Turn the gain down if you are worried. Most good speakers are underrated anyways.

Thanks for all the help guys - I ended up going with a set of Massive Audio CK6's from Dave Temple - $219 shipped. Got them installed this weekend - sound AWESOME. Very nice set for the money. Yes, they were over the $200 limit by $20, and the RMS was 125, but Dave (and other reviews) assured me that 150 wasn't a problem. Just wanted to say thanks for all the help/suggestions and let everyone know what the end result was.
